St-Pierre river an “open-air sewer”

The remaining segment of the St-Pierre river, visible from a golf course on the border of Côte St‑Luc and Montreal West, was ordered covered up recently by a judge. TVA says this is because it’s essentially an open-air sewer in which 218 buildings have been permitted to dump untreated sewage for years, but Montreal disavows responsibility because those buildings are in other municipalities.
